Replacement Teeth
To replace missing teeth and create a solid, dependable smile that looks great and functions well, we offer custom crown and bridgework, partials, and dentures. Our dental lab uses fine materials designed to look natural and last for years.
Crown and bridge systems are made of one or more replacement teeth in a row (the bridge), anchored to two crowns. The bridge will fill a gap left by missing teeth. As a fixed appliance, crown and bridge systems are not removable.
A partial, or partial denture, replaces multiple missing teeth on the upper or lower arch. The missing teeth do not have to be adjacent to one another, as in the case of a bridge. Instead, a partial can replace missing teeth by fitting into the gaps like a puzzle. Partials can be anchored with clasps that attach to natural teeth, or they may be anchored to dental implants inserted into the jawbone. Partials are removable appliances but may be fixed to dental implants upon request.
Like a partial denture, a full denture fits on the upper or lower arch. However, a full denture replaces all teeth on an arch. Dentures may be attached to the gums with adhesive or anchored to dental implants. They are removable appliances, as well.
